The Marlins aim to sweep the Padres in San Diego and return to .500. First pitch is set at 4:05 PM ET at Petco Park. Ricky Nolasco will be the starting pitcher for Miami. In his last start, which was a win against the Giants in San Francisco, he allowed 1 run on 7 hits with 1 strikeout and a walk in 7 innings. Joe Wieland will get the start for San Diego. Wieland is still looking for his … [Read more...]
Mark Buehrle threw a complete-game five-hitter and pinch hitter Greg Dobbs drove in the go-ahead run to lift the Miami Marlins to their season-high fifth straight victory with a 4-1 win over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night. With a bullpen depleted due to overuse recently and closer Heath Bell getting demoted, Miami manager Ozzie Guillen was counting on Buehrle to pitch deep … [Read more...]
It has literally been by the skin of their teeth that the Marlins are on a 4 game winning streak and sometimes, that's the way the game works. Previously they couldn't find a win, let alone a hole to shoot a ball through for a hit. Their 6 game losing streak was snapped with some heroics back in Miami and now it seems they are unstoppable away from the new digs and the Longball Lagoon. With a … [Read more...]
Looks like Showtime is going to spend some time this season with the Miami Marlins. It will be interesting to see our team through the lens of a national narrative, finding the story lines that will matter most to the national audience. It will be interesting to see what issues and views gain traction outside the local confines of South Florida. This episode focuses on Ozzie's return to the … [Read more...]
In many ways the game started appropriately - Anibal Sanchez looked very hittable and gave up 2 runs in the first inning. It looked like he was going to dominate, then all of a sudden he fell apart. Next thing you know, he gets a strikeout to escape the first without any further damage. At that point, it was looking like ugly loss #7 in a row was rearing its ugly head. No one would have … [Read more...]
The Marlins came back to Miami, weary, and hoping to get their offense going. Turns out the less-than-rocket arm of seemingly normally named lefty Joe Saunders was not what the Fish needed to spark the offense. No home cooking, not Longball Lagoon fireworks. Over the course of this 6 game losing streak, the Marlins are hitting .151 with a 2-26 clip with runners in scoring position. The good … [Read more...]
According to our poll, it seems that an overwhelming majority of MarlinsNation members have not actually purchased season tickets for the inaugural season at Marlins Park. In fact, 81% have not while only 19% actually have purchased season tickets. It seems that the list price of the tickets may be scaring potential buyers off. If a season ticket package is purchased, you actually can save … [Read more...]
One of the reasons why Ozzie Guillen was hired for this team was for his candid personality and his ability to speak his mind. Good or bad, you know what you are getting with Ozzie Guillen. He doesn't pull punches, he doesn't hide his thoughts, he doesn't mince words. He is the antithesis to anything the Marlins have had on their bench in all of their franchise's history. Yes, what he said was … [Read more...]
The sun was setting as we passed by it - the phantom of years past. Yet, it wasn't even technically old, just abandoned. Sun Life Stadium, the place where the Marlins used to play, when they were called the Florida Marlins, sat like a snowbird waiting in the sun for its final moment. As I passed it there seemed to be a last desperate gasp. We were rolling south towards bigger and better … [Read more...]
The Braves ended their epic fail season by losing to the Phillies today while watching the Cardinals sail past them to grab the NL Wildcard on the final day of the season. The Cardinals were only 8.5 games in back of the Braves as of September 5th. Meanwhile, the Marlins were closing out their 2011 season by losing to the Nationals in their last ever game at the cavernous Joe Robbie-turned-Sun … [Read more...]
